This study tested whether giving fecal transplants to critically ill ICU patients with gut problems could help them tolerate tube feeding. Nineteen patients received the transplant, and researchers checked if their digestion improved, how their gut bacteria changed, and whether t…

This study tested a deep-learning system called DeepPriorCBCT to see if it can produce high-quality CT images using much less radiation. 138 people with lung nodules each received one low-dose scan (1/6 of the usual radiation) and one standard-dose scan. Doctors compared the imag…

This study tested a sedative called remimazolam besylate in 36 ICU patients who needed a breathing machine. The goal was to see if it could keep patients lightly sedated without needing extra calming drugs. The trial was a small, early-phase study to check safety and effectivenes…

This study looked at 200 heart transplant patients to see if the time of day the donor heart was removed affects how well they do after surgery. Researchers compared hearts taken during the body's rest phase (midnight to noon) versus the active phase (noon to midnight). They foll…

This study looked at 144 people who had facial skin surgery for benign growths like moles or cysts. Participants were randomly assigned to have their wound dressing removed after 6 hours or kept covered until stitches were removed. The goal was to see which method leads to better…

This study looked at 94 adults with severe lung failure (ARDS) who needed a breathing tube and were placed on their stomachs (prone position) to help them breathe. Researchers used a special imaging technique called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to see how air and blood f…

This study explored whether measuring the activity of a gene called Acod1 in blood cells can help predict which sepsis patients are at higher risk of dying. Researchers collected blood samples from 52 adults with sepsis within 24-48 hours of ICU admission and measured Acod1 level…

This study examined 16 ICU patients with sepsis to see if certain memory immune cells (called CD8+ T cells) are linked to how severe the infection is and the risk of dying. Researchers measured these cells in blood samples taken over 72 hours and tracked patient outcomes like len…

This study looked at 68 people with a rare type of skin cancer called mucosal melanoma. Researchers used a special PET scan to see if certain measurements could predict how long patients would live or when their cancer might come back. The goal was to learn more about the disease…

This study tested whether a newer type of PET scan (68Ga-FAPI) can better predict how well breast cancer responds to chemotherapy before surgery, compared to standard PET and MRI scans. Twenty-seven women with advanced breast cancer received imaging before and after chemotherapy,…

This study looked at 173 Chinese patients to see if their skin type affects how well facial surgical wounds heal and whether scars form. Researchers classified each person's skin type before surgery and checked healing at 7 and 90 days after. The goal is to help doctors predict a…

This study tested a new AI system (Janus Pro 1B-CXR) to help junior doctors read chest X-rays. 296 patients with suspected chest diseases took part. The AI aimed to improve report quality and speed. Results compared AI-assisted reports to standard reports.
